We believe that Christian life is fed in the context of fellowship with God's people, and that regular participation in small groups is crucial to this end. Small groups allow us to deepen in our walk of faith as we study God's Word together, share our thoughts and ideas, pray for one another, and grow more closely in our friendships. If our life together as "the People of God, the Body of Christ, the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit" is to be about more than simply attending the worship service on Sunday mornings, then participation in these small group fellowships is part of that "more."

For these reasons, we encourage every member to join and regularly participate in a small group. Each one has its own unique character, meets on different days at different times on different schedules, and studies different things. Each, however, is rooted in the study of God's word, in prayer, and in a concern to build the bonds of fellowship. All the groups listed below are open and would welcome new members at any time. More than likely, we have a group that's right for you and your busy schedule.

Women's Ministry

Women's Ministry Team, Coordinators

The Women's Ministry at Faith Presbyterian Church seeks to help each woman in the church to grow in her personal relationship with the Lord; to cultivate and deepen relationships with the other women in the church; and to reach out to her friends and neighbors.

There are also the Women's Retreat in April, and the Women's Conference in October, at which women gather for a times of refreshing, with prayer, praise, fellowship, food, and teaching!

Men's Ministry

Vince Cacciatore, Coordinator

The Men's Ministry at Faith Presbyterian Church seeks to deepen each man's understanding of God's Word; to strengthen the bonds of friendship between men in the church; and to to nourish and sustain a bold consistency between the faith they profess and the life they live.

Adult Education Ministry

Jules Grisham, Coordinator

The goal of the Adult Education program of Faith Presbyterian Church is to equip the saints with the resources they need for mature Christian living, by deepening them in God's word and by providing opportunities for ongoing immersion in the word and in community with one another. Engaging and enjoying the living Word of God in a community context, and then applying it, practicing its principles in the course of day-to-day living, is the heart of our mission to cultivate, train up, and serve the Kingdom together as disciples of Christ.

Music Ministry

Rachel MacKay, Director of Music Ministry

As in all things, so especially in our worship: we seek first and foremost to glorify God, and to do so with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Toward this end, music has always been an important and integral part of the worship of God's people. The music we sing and play in worship, therefore, strives to glorify God, and to do so with power, vitality, reverence, awe, and joy -- whether by singing traditional hymns or playing contemporary songs with guitar, bass, and drums.

In addition to the Worship Team, Faith Church has a number of music ensembles which practice at various times, including the following:
